"Jia Xu?"
Liu Bian suddenly turned around and looked at Pan Yin. He couldn't be more familiar with this person. The word that best summed up Jia Xu was the word 'poison'.
Pan Yin quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Chief Huangfu Jian said so."
Liu Bian touched his chin, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Jia Xu is not here to buy an official position, but to stand in front of Dong Zhuo."
He already knew in his heart that according to the time calculation, Dong Zhuo might have decided to enter Beijing on the day Yuan Wei arrived, which was why he had this series of arrangements.
"go,"
Liu Bian and Pan Yin said: "Give Huangfu Jianchang a chance to keep an eye on Jia Xu and find out which courtiers he has given gifts to. If Jia Xu wants to leave the capital, let Huangfu Jianchang arrest him quietly."
"Young man, go right away," Pan Yin said.
Liu Bian thought for a while and then said: "Let him be careful and try not to alert the enemy."
"I understand." Pan Yin quickly turned around and responded, hurriedly looking for Huangfu Jianchang.
Liu Bian looked outside the palace with a leisurely expression and said to himself: "It seems that the recruiting hall must be erected as soon as possible."
Recently, more and more people have been coming to Beijing, and Luoyang City is about to become lively.
In the evening, there is an ordinary house in the east of the city.
Huangfu Jian was sitting on the ground, holding a bowl of snacks in his hand, stuffing it into his mouth non-stop, speaking incoherently and vaguely, saying: "You don't even know how much your Majesty attaches great importance to the news I reported. Your Majesty ordered I keep an eye on those people, and I will find time to catch them, interrogate them strictly, find out all their accomplices, and protect my country..."
Shi A leaned on crutches and slowly stood up from his side. He lowered his eyebrows and was about to go out.
Huangfu Jianchang said quickly: "Hey, what I said is true. Your Majesty really asked me to keep an eye on these people, and also asked me to find out who they gave gifts to."
Shi A opened the door and said, "I'll find some people for you."
Huangfu Jianchang threw away the plate and got up, saying, "I'll go with you."
"Who are the people you are looking for for me?" Huangfu Jianchang asked as he followed Shi A.
Shi Amu limped out with a dull expression on his face.
Huangfu Jianchang raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "Maybe they have gone to a brothel now. These people are in a remote place in Xiliang and must not understand the prosperity of Luoyang City..."
Shi A remained silent and continued walking forward.
The two of them walked out of the door. Huangfu Jianchang looked like he was thinking seriously and said, "Shi A, tell me, who are they giving gifts to now?"
Shi A frowned and said, "If you really want to do great things, you must learn to shut up, otherwise you will die quickly."
Huangfu Jian seemed not to have heard, and looked puzzled, saying, "Tell me, how can my second father be so good at literature and martial arts? I can't do anything, and my father has taught me a lot before..."
Shi'a had a headache. If he had recovered from his injury, Huangfu Jian's long mouth would have been blocked long ago.
As the two of them talked, they passed by a small pub. Huangfu Jian sighed and said, "It's been a long time since I drank..."
Shi A used his right hand hard and used crutches to speed up his pace.
"Hey, wait for me, you are asking me to chase you..." Huangfu Jianchang shouted quickly when he saw it.
'He saved my life and took two risks for me...' Shi'a thought repeatedly in his mind, holding on to the crutch tightly without letting go.
Deep in the tavern they walked through, in a simple room, there were two people sitting opposite each other, with two strong servants behind each.
Zuo Li sat facing east and west, his eyes dimly gazing at the middle-aged man opposite him. He was wearing a black gown, his face was covered with wrinkles, his eyebrows were raised, and his smile was full of joy.
"Your name is Jia Xu? Are you from Hanzhong?"
Zuo Li asked. He felt that this man looked a bit like Yuan Shao, and he felt disgusted.
'Jia Xu' pushed the land deed on the table and said with a smile: "Yes. I have admired your noble name for a long time, and I came here today to make friends. A mere fifty acres is not a sign of respect."
Zuo Li changed his face slightly, and took action with fifty hectares of fertile land. This person's background is not simple!
He didn't answer, snorted coldly and said, "If you want to buy an official position from me, you've thought too much."
'Jia Xu''s smile did not change and he said: "It's just for making friends, and I have no intention of buying an official position. Please feel free to accept it."
There was an obvious look of hesitation on Zuo Li's pale face. He was sold into the palace. He had no contact with his family for a long time. He was lonely and helpless in the palace, and he didn't have much money. He did not dare to touch what Liu Bian had given him as a reward. These fifty acres of land really made him struggle internally.
A cold and cruel look flashed in Zuo Li's eyes. He resisted the urge to reach out and looked at 'Jia Xu' and said, "You'd better ask for it, otherwise I won't accept it."
'Jia Xu' pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Since the noble man said so, how about introducing Da Changqiu to the villain? I will thank you very much afterwards."
Listening to the words 'Thank you very much afterwards', Zuo Li was not only unhappy, but also annoyed and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He remained calm, stared at Jia Xu and said, "How much are you prepared to give to Da Changqiu?"
'Jia Xu' bowed slightly and said: "I have prepared some Hanzhong products for Dachangqiu. They are not very valuable. I just want to get an official position."
Now there are too many vacant official positions in Luoyang City, and I don’t know how many people are looking for temples with money.
Zuo Li looked at him for a long time, and suddenly a smile appeared in his eyes. He took the contract and put it in his arms. He stood up and walked out: "You stay here and wait for my news."
'Jia Xu' stood up quickly, raised his hand and said, "I would like to thank you, noble man. Please go slowly, noble man."
After Zuo Li walked a few steps, he looked coldly and whispered to the guard behind him: "They are not Hanzhong people. They quietly sent people to surround this place. Let me find out who they are, what they want to do, and how much they brought with them." money!"
"Yes." The guard whispered knowingly.
"Fifty hectares!" Zuo Zuo sneered, feeling deeply aggrieved at being looked down upon.
'Jia Xu' watched Zuo Li go out, his smile gradually faded, and he snorted disdainfully and said, "Erect!"
"Li Zhonglang,"
A servant behind him stepped forward and said, "The people from Sikong Mansion have accepted our money. Are they going to find a way to see Nading Palace again?"
The wrinkles on Li Su's face were gathered together, like an old farmer. He thought about it carefully and said, "He is the prime minister. He cannot go easily. He has to find someone to introduce him."
"Who is suitable?" asked the servant.
Li Su was also thinking about it. The imperial court was now too complicated and everyone's thoughts were unpredictable, making him unsure.
At the same time, Liu Bian in the palace was still burning the midnight oil to fight.
He had to deal with memorials, official documents, new productions, etc. There were so many things that he almost never stopped for a moment.
Liu Bian bent over his desk and wrote, saying: "You have to press for the matter of recruiting martial arts hall. Xun You and others can't get away for the time being. Let Cai Yong come to see me tomorrow. In addition, prepare another recruiting martial arts hall."
Before Pan Yin could respond, Liu Bian said again: "Are you ready for the list of civil and military officials of the DPRK and China that I asked you to prepare?"
Pan Yin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The Shangshu Desk and the Grand Sima are still sorting it out."
Liu Bian grunted and said: "When you are ready, give it to me. I also want the governors, governors, governors, generals and above from all over the country. Let the officials handle this in an honest and fair manner."
"Yes." Pan Yin responded.
Liu Bian finished writing one book in his hand, then changed another, and said: "Aristocratic families in each state should compile a list of the main figures in the family, people who have become officials, famous people, in-law relationships... these are all for you. Inform Zuo Li and let him do it."
Pan Yin, who originally thought the workload was huge, said, "Yes, I will send someone to notify you right now."
Liu Bian said nothing and continued to read the memorial.
…
Dong Dong Dong Dong
Liu Bian was awakened by an urgent knock on the door. He raised his head and got up from the table, only to see that the brush had dyed most of the silk in front of him black.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep.
Liu Bian frowned hard, then exhaled heavily, stood up and opened the door.
Pan Yin stood at the door. Seeing Liu Bian's expression, he said anxiously: "This villain is guilty of death. I don't know that Your Majesty..."
Liu Bian glanced at the two Zhonghuangmen behind him. They were holding plates in their hands. At a glance, there were hundreds of silk ribbons inside.
"What are they?"
Liu Bian interrupted him, turned around and entered the room, picked up the teapot and poured it into his hands, then touched his face a few times randomly.
Pan Yin hurriedly asked people to prepare water for washing, and then followed up and said: "Your Majesty, it was sent from the Shangshutai. They praised Dong Zhuo for his contribution in annihilating the Qiang people, relieved the danger of the third assistant, and recommended him to be the Taiwei... …Recording the minister’s affairs.”
Liu Bian raised his brows, wiped the water from his face, and became more awake. He looked at the hundreds of pieces of silk and asked, "Are they all?"
Pan Yin tightened his face and lowered his head, saying: "They are all. There are more than a dozen from Bingzhou, more than a dozen from other places, and the rest are all from Beijing."
Liu Bian picked one up casually, and it turned out to be Zheng Tai's.
He threw it back, walked to his desk, and said, "Don't you have Yuan Wei's letter yet?"
Pan Yin lowered his head and followed, saying: "Not yet."
After Liu Bian sat down, his eyes twitched coldly.
Dong Zhuo couldn't make such a big noise, the Yuan family must have taken action for him.
By doing this, Dong Zhuo could not only enter Beijing with confidence, but Bingzhou was still under his actual control.
